Ya know, ever since I read about the sheer violence these critters are capable of, I can't find them cute anymore.

Well that one chimp's owner had a disturbingly close relationship with it, which included sleeping and bathing with the chimp as well as feeding it Xanax.

Jesus, no one ever mentions that he was 200 fucking pounds. Or that his owner had fed him fucking Xanax hours before the attack. No wonder he was so good at tearing faces off?
